Living on the Costa del Sol Coast 

The Costa del Sol is known for its long coastline, Mediterranean climate and high quality of life. Marbella alone has 27 kilometres of sandy beaches, with the Sierra Blanca mountains as a backdrop. The combination of sea, beach, amenities and varied residential areas has been attracting international buyers for years.

World Wide Properties is active in various coastal areas along the Costa del Sol. Not every area has properties available at all times, but these are locations where properties are regularly offered and where there is strong interest from buyers specifically looking to live by the sea.

Below, we highlight a number of coastal areas that are important within WWP's working area.

East Marbella – Cabopino, Elviria, El Rosario and Los Monteros

The eastern part of Marbella is known for its wide beaches and natural dunes. In areas such as Cabopino, Elviria, El Rosario and Los Monteros, beach and residential quality are combined with a relaxed atmosphere.

Along this part of the coast are several well-known beach clubs, including Oyana, Luuma, La Plage Casanis, Siroko Beach and La Cabane. Apartments and villas are regularly offered here, often within a short distance of the beach. East Marbella appeals to buyers who want to combine tranquillity, beach life and accessibility.

Marbella town centre and promenade

Marbella combines city and beach in a unique way. The old town, with its picturesque streets and squares, provides an authentic Andalusian atmosphere.

The approximately 17-kilometre-long promenade runs from East Marbella to San Pedro de Alcántara. Along this coastline, there are apartments and villas within walking distance of the sea and amenities. This makes living in and around the centre attractive for both second home buyers and permanent residents.

Golden Mile – Marbella

The Golden Mile is located west of the centre of Marbella and stretches just over two kilometres towards Puerto Banús. This is one of the most exclusive stretches of coastline on the Costa del Sol.

Here you will find luxury residential areas, high-quality apartments and villas, interspersed with renowned hotels such as Puente Romano and several leading restaurants. The Golden Mile appeals to buyers looking for comfort, privacy and a central location.

Puerto Banús – Marbella

Puerto Banús is a luxury marina with an international character. The area is known for its exclusive yachts, international brand boutiques, restaurants and lively atmosphere.

Living in or near Puerto Banús means direct access to the beach and extensive amenities. This makes the area attractive as a second home, for permanent residence and also as an investment.

Estepona – living by the sea

Estepona is located west of Marbella and has developed significantly in recent years. The municipality stretches for approximately 21 kilometres along the Mediterranean Sea and offers both lively and quieter beaches.

The car-free promenade, the old town and the harbour contribute to a pleasant living environment by the sea. Along the coast of Estepona, both apartments and villas are available, in existing properties as well as in new developments.

New Golden Mile – Estepona

The New Golden Mile is located east of the centre of Estepona. This coastal area is known for its proximity to the sea and the presence of modern residential projects. The New Golden Mile is popular with buyers who want to combine contemporary living with a coastal location.

The area west of the centre of Estepona is undergoing strong development, with various new construction projects. The property supply consists of a mix of existing homes and new builds.
